Central London, Temple. After an £800,000 makeover in early 2012, Walkabout Temple is quickly establishing itself as London's premier sports bar and party venue. Obviously they show every sport under the sun, but with its inevitable group of stacked-up Aussies serving the drinks, we recommend heading over for all things Rugby - both codes. The presence of massive projectors and 30 HD TV screens ensure that, unless you're Shane Williams, you're unlikely to struggle for a view. Happy Hour runs from 5pm-7pm every weekday.

Central London, Clerkenwell. The Bowler Pub and Kitchen is conveniently located on Bowling Green Lane, off Farringdon road. It is an excellent place for the Six Nations in particular as they have a 10ft screen along with 2 HD TV's. A fresh locally sourced British pub menu, and reasonable prices make it the perfect place for a weekend of Rugby. The Scotch Eggs are superb and the bar staff always friendly. One of MatchPint's favourite venues for sport.

Central London, The Strand. A good old traditional pub, the George feels like it may well have been serving since the 13th century! But don't think that it's out-dated, cramped and laced with the smell of plague - far from it. One of the best places to watch Rugby in London on account of it's prime position, it being open on a Sunday (unusual for area) and a fine selection of ales and lagers. Plenty of screens around the place and a big projector upstairs.

South West London, Clapham Common. The Frog has always been known as one of THE places to go to watch sport, especially Rugby, and quite rightly tops many punters' lists of the best sports pubs in London. It serves phenomenal food sourced from local artisan producers and selected British farms. With a pint in one hand and 'The Frog Ultimate Burger' in the other, you can't go wrong. After the sport you can stay behind to check out some of the live music and local talent South London has to offer.

South West London, Putney. Part of the brilliant Capital Pub Company, the Larrik is like Heavan in London to a rugby fan. With two massive projectors, three HD Tvs and a screen in the beer garden, it's the place to catch all the best rugby action any time of year. They also offer "The Shack" a private room for up to 30 with a 3D TV, cinema seating and personal beer fridge. Strong Auusie contingent keep the banter energetic at all times!

South West London, Battersea. First the downside: you have to walk to the top of Battersea Rise past lots of very attractive places (and probably lots of very attractive mothers) to get there. But once you're there, it's worth the walk! With three large projectors showing rugby and other sport on Sky Sports and ESPN, The Merchant is a cracking spot to grab some food and take in one of London's more surprising pubs (three coloured wines on tap no less). Table fusball and simple but elegant decor make it well worth a visit for the rugby in the area.

South East London, Peckham. It's rare to find a pub in South East London that pulls in the crowd for Rugger, but the Rye certainly does a job of work. Re-opened in the Summer of 2012 following a major redevelopment, it's a charming pub in Peckham Rye that serves excellent food, a great choice of drinks and comes with all the trimmings you'd want: log fire, family friendly outdoor picnic benches and a table tennis table.

North London, Crouch Hill. Though strictly speaking a Gastro Pub, the Old Dairy is so cavernous that it could easily set itself up as a West End Club. With a good mix of locals and visitors, the atmosphere is lively and it's testament to the quality of the pub that such a huge space is often filled to the brim. Football is also big here, but if we were picking a pub in which to watch and England Six Nations match in North London, this'd be it.

West London, Notting Hill. This cozy traditional pub is one of the only pubs in Notting Hill to show sport on Sky Sports - and we love them for it! They show pretty much everything but, as you can imagine, the area lends itself to rugby fans in particular. The Thai food is pricey but worth the spend and the choice of ales on offer is usually excellent.

Located in the Old Market Square in the heart of Nottingham, this pub is sports crazy and can boast 7 HD screens to catch the action on. They show everything from footy to F1, rugby to horse racing - it's a sports fan's haven. Food is good and wholesome with Sunday lunch an option, as well as delicious Navigation real ales to wash it all down with. British Lions fans would do well to take note of this place, as they will be opening early for all the games on this summer's tour down under.
